Trainers Debunk 5 Myths About Core Training. From wanting a solid foundation for weightlifting to preventing injury and pain in everyday life, there are many good reasons to want a stronger core. But because so many people are interested in the idea of having a flatter stomach, there’s a good deal of misinformation and false promises about how to go about getting a strong, lean. Here, expert trainers debunk the biggest core-training myths they hear day-in and day-out. “People are always asking me for exercises that burn belly fat and they often seem a bit confused when I suggest moves like lunges, clean and press or burpees,” explains Julia Buckley, a certified personal trainer.

Debunking the Myths About Personal Trainers We eat healthy foods every day of the week. While most trainers enjoy a nutritious, well-balanced diet, most have no We work out two or three times a day. It’s true, trainers should practice what they preach; however, most of us only We love all. Here are some of the most common myths and the truth behind them according to Andy McGylnn, Director of Lifestyle Fitness Personal Trainin.

Myth #4: “I’m disabled, so I can’t exercise!” Truth: Limited mobility does not mean that you can’t exercise.There are a number of different activities that can be performed sitting down—weightlifting, rowing, chair aerobics and Tai Chi will all work to increase your range of motion, improve muscle tone and flexibility and support cardiovascular health. 8 Myths About Cardio Debunked We all know resistance training is fashionable, but what about good old fashioned cardio when is it the best, fat burning exercise? By Francesca Menato.

Like it or not, we all sweat.It’s a perfectly natural — and healthy — phenomenon that serves to keep us cool when temps rise. You’d think that’d be the end of the story, but there’s still a lot people don’t understand about sweat, including why we sweat, who sweats more than others and what sweat can (and can’t) do for us.

Despite the emphasis that many coaches, trainers, and athletes themselves place on “core training for increased performance,” Dr. Nesser and his coauthors wrote, “our results suggest otherwise”—and raise reverberant questions about just what the purpose of strength should be.

  • Well this is why bodybuilders, strong men and power lifters lack striking power despite their size and weight. Why? Cuz their muscles are too big and slow for them to generate momentum and power also their stamina is garbage. A light weight fighter could kick their asses. It’s already happened. LOL

  • Listen lady, this isn’t the ONLY VIDEO that Chloe Ting has. This is JUST ONE of her workout from her ‘Shred Challenge’ programme!! That programme has a bunch of other videos and she clearly mentions about the meal choices to make and the variations that may be for each individual taking part in that programme. One is supposed to follow through the entire programme that this video is just a part of. Please get your homework done before attempting to ‘review’ someone else.

  • Chole ting works hard and gave it out for free ���� we don’t deserve her✨ it wont work for everyone but the videos keep you healthy ☺️ plz don’t try to use chole ting for views☹️

  • yeah the first time i did her 2 week shred program i was rushing through it and im doing the program the 2nd time im doing it nice and slow and yeah it burns a lot

  • This is where my dislike for human nature comes out. All you Chloe Ting fans need to quit being lemmings, blindly cherry-picking the VERY few items of criticism. This is a PERFECT example of what bias can do to people. Watch this video again objectively and you’ll see she said nothing wrong or offensive.

    I love Chloe. I’ve lost 22 lbs with her videos so this comment is coming from a fan. And I’m totally fine with her click-bait titles if it means we have OVER 15,000 people!!! getting off the couch and being more active. But I am smart enough to know OF COURSE YOU’RE NOT LIKELY TO GET ABS IN 2 WEEKS…

    BUT…

    This personal trainer is just speaking to the less informed general public. If she could miss Chloe’s disclaimers, THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE WHO MISSED IT TOO. And you can’t expect her to pore over every Chloe Ting video either.

    Everyone needs to calm down. Chloe would say this herself.

  • You are a trainer. You should know this workout has to go along with other daily workouts and so Chloe has a whole program for this. This is only one of those. When you played her video you should have visited the description box under. You will see there her whole program and a DISCLAIMER. She never claimed you will get ABS in 2 weeks with this workout alone. The title is just based on SEO you should know that because you are also a youtube content creator. Of course aside from other workouts, diet has to go along with this. Everybody knows that. I am doing Chloe Ting’s workouts and I can see results. I’m not yet doing this workout I’m still doing her Core Workout routine for 8 days now and I can see shape already. What more If I start doing her Ab Workouts?..I bet I’d be happy enough.

    I’m just finishing my core workout then I’ll post a video about it. So with the rest of my workout expriences later on.

  • i am a noodle tough…

    oh and btw wtf 60+millionviews in april??? now its June and the vid has 169 million views she really do be getting money

  • Hey I just saw your channel and want to ask
    I’ve been doing chloe ting ab workout for almost 4 weeks now.. I’m not seeing amazing results like others

    I am following a hard diet..
    I want to know why I’m not losing

    Also I’m doing at the same time one of her cardio ab workout which is extremely intense

    Plz help me with an advice or something.. my exams are close and I’m gonna have to stop exercising for a month.. and I know my self.. if I dont see results now.. I’m gonna end up quitting..

  • There is nothing wrong with what she said. I love Chloe Ting and she was complimenting her work the whole time and giving constructive critism. She is being honest and tried to help so all your hardwork doesn’t go to waste who follow chloe. I had a personal trainer and she really emphasised on eating correctly because not only will it effect trimming down but also your form and how well you preform in the workouts. Like she said “you go all out or its not gonna work” if you don’t have the energy because lack of nutrition to do that what’s the point��‍♀️

  • I don’t understand why people were criticizing this review so harshly. Honestly, you were complimenting so many things about the video, like the type of exercises she was doing, the short rest times, etc. You gave some valid critiques in my opinion too. I guess some people just feel very passionately about Chloe Ting’s workouts. But keep doing what you’re doing! I’ll definitely incorporate some of the tips you gave in my next ab workout:)

  • Excellent video. I have been training Muay Thai 3x per week for 18 months and am interested in taking my first fight. Our coaches are big believers in road work and they rarely talk about strength training. I used to lift quite a bit but now do more running on the treadmill (2-3x/week, 4-5 miles/run, 8 min/mile pace). How much road work do you recommend in preparation for a fight vs. strength/power training? I’m always told that (besides breathing and good technique, of course) cardio is the most important part of getting through my first fight. Any advice on how much cardio vs. explosive/strength training I should be doing? Thank you.

  • Why are “fitness trainers” having these kind of reviews? I mean it seems so weird that you guys are tearing each other in your own community. You should learn from the jump rope community where they do collabs instead of trying to outdo each other.

    But yes, I guess Chloe Ting’s name is really popular and will be bait.

  • Okay WHY the f*** is this b** trying to tell us �� about this workout and if it’s good or not when literally Chloe has it all in her description about what the PROGRAM DOES not just the one video about getting instant results in 2 weeks she clearly lets everyone know it takes hard work and it depends on certain body types and time. It’s so stupid that this video says ” from a personal trainers perspective” when Chloe literally is a personal trainer who has help so many people including me! Everyone needs to stop bashing on her, she’s so sweet to let her programs bee for free all she wants is to help people. I’d marry that b** if I could ��♥️

  • I am having trouble with my training because I have run out of training partners because of how deadly my super secret ninja death touch is.

  • I think the toned thing comes from bodybuilding…seeing ripped big bodybuilders using tiny weights high reps…but thats when the bodybuilder has already enter cutting phase dialed in their diet and is not as strong from bulking and lifting heavier weights….and also women dont want to lift heavy thinking it will add too bulky muscles…general pop dont know that toned does not exist…because all see is these fit insta model girls doing tricep kick backs and stuff thking thats the secret

  • do u even know her channel that well tho? cus u keep throwing shade like u already know all of her contents and its disclaimer ew marissa

  • Why is this video lowkey shading Chloe ting she works so hard on her videos and it’s also free she even makes workouts that are apartment-friendly this is lowkey shading her she has helped so many people me being one of them and I actually lost a lot of weight doing her workout and I don’t even eat healthily but still get results.

  • Thank you and great video again. I will have to read all kenshin replies at below because LK always has good points of view that I can not get from other resources.

  • This reminds me of a very good book I read not long ago. It’s titled “Which Comes First, Cardio or Weights?” The authors tackle a bunch of fitness myths and well “established” knowledge by presenting the actual studies that they originated from and then leaving it for you to decide. Highly recommend it.

  • I’m really struggling with the right nutrition I need for myself. If you have good tips about the things to eat and not eat it would be great. Thank you!:)

  • How dare people skip her ads �� she only puts them at the end i never skip them because she deserves the money that she gets from them

  • This is just too obvious that no one gains abs in just 2 weeks,it really takes years. But why would people watch chloe’s workout videos if she don’t uses titles like those? If not abs,even if not weight loss, atleast after doing 2 weeks of such intense workout challenges people really feel confident about themselves n feel guilty about underestimating self. N also she do not cut-edit her videos so just like us physically inactive crowd even she gets tired. People who are professionals may won’t feel exhausted after this but then there are chances that they already know about the workout,they would definitely touch their elbows to their knees.

  • Lawrence Kenshin is selling wolf tickets. Don Heatrick is selling wolf tickets. And y’all are eating them up.
    Just kidding, great video.

  • Can’t hurt to have a solid foundation in strength training the major lifts before you start the more specific power training for striking,

  • personal trainers be like I am gonna roast Chloe ting right now�� So basically, they are mad that they did all those studies and trainings to become a personal trainer just to find out somebody has already made a name on youtube[ rightfully so] and has already exposed all their favorite workouts and also made a very effective program for FREE!! that is. And that’s just one more CLIENT gone for them[ I mean millions]�� hahaaaa….. idk but I could just see that she dosent like Chloe ting. she was ready to say all those stuffs without even researching properly. but she does it in a way people dont notice like saying some small good stuffs about her workout. the video was based on judging Chloe ting rather than being entirely based on the freaking workout program { hello? personal trainer what??} it seemed passive aggressive.

  • Cloe changed my perspective of fitness.. Thanks to her I started to move my body which I never did it since I was in school.
    And what I like is that she don’t train you to look like hulk like many trainers do or tell u.
    I don’t wanna b hulk I just wanna feel OK while I loose some weight and move my body.. And many other trainers don’t get this.

  • Girl, I think you’re throwing a bit of shade here..it’s not just one video that we have to do..its almost 4 videos per day. It has helped me tremendously! Chloe is god!

  • Abs in two weeks sounds crazy and lots of people have their own opinions. You may not get the abs though. I am not going to do the chloe ting workout. There are loads of different workouts. For some people, you may be shaped like a door but everyone’s body is different. You also need to be on a healthier diet for it to work!:)

  • I looked like a door and I did the whole program
    I won’t say i hate Chloe ting but I recommend Pamela reif or Vicky Justiz to get an hour glass figure

  • your making “fighting” into a science.It cant be done,fighters train,and train,and train,spar,, motivate themselves,do ALL KINDS OF THINGS TO PREPARE THEMSELVES TO FIGHT.,,then the moment comes to fight,they lose within SECONDS to a lucky punch or kick,body slam,,whatever.
    when your fighting a REAL FIGHTER,,an aggressive,violent person.,,,they dont let your PLAN OR THEORY work on them,.,,,so take MORE consideration in reality and less on theory,,,,Ive seen many times when the thinking fighter tries to put into action his PLAN,,then get bodyslamed,,and k.o. by an explosive violent fighter,,,im telling you,,,,if your not explosively violent you run the risk of losing,,,

  • The high rep toning method, I came across an article where a Journalist asked a bodybuilder why he was lifting so light for being so big (it was during his cutting phase) he simply said to “cut fat’… Which as it turns out he was just much weaker due to cutting carbs and what not

  • For someone claiming to be “personal trainer” I would expect you to have great posture and overall fit look…
    Honey, you better work on yourself before trying to come for the Queen Chloe Ting.

  • I just want to add that the Hegelian Dialectic plays a vital role in almost all aspects like government, court system and healthcare. The Dialectic is one sided ( bias) using artificial reasoning that involves idealism. It creates an artificial problem and solution that repeats itself. It’s the only way business can stay alive for the most part because a problem is required

  • The only problem with it is that Chloe Ting captioned it “2 week shred”. Reality check, you can’t shred your abs in just 2 weeks. Sure, you can see it toned a bit but not shredded. Takes time and patience.

  • Oh my god please stop disliking people’s videos just because they say something slightly bad about Chloe, she’s a really positive, adorable person and yes, she does provide free workouts and programs BUT just because someone has a different opinion doesn’t mean you can just hate on them. I myself love doing her cardio workouts but I got so bored doing the summer shred challenge I just stopped after 20 days.

  • What’s your opinion on weighted punches? I’ve played around with them and they seem to increase my speed and coordination. What do you think as a coach? Or do you know where i can get more info on this?

  • Generally a good video but I am not sure two myths are actually myths. The crunch is a good exercise, and the comment that you shouldn’t “only” do crunches, you could say for any gym exercise (don’t do thousands of bicep curls…). More importantly the myth about the machines, I have heard this from the first entry to the gym, and after a few years of not actually getting any stronger, I have found the “Don’t use machines” myth to be the myth. If you don’t have a personal trainer that is there to watch your form on free weights, by all means do use the machines!!! the machines are there to correct for bad form so you actually have an effect of your work. Free weights with bad form will leave you staying at the same level.For me it comes down to this 1.best=Free weights with good form. 2. good= machines that compensate for form. 3. worst=free weights with bad form..

  • Dr Lyon said in an interview that she had extremely high levels of dioxins due to mold exposure in her NY office causing her body not to detox well.

    World Health Organization
    Dioxins are a group of chemically-related compounds that are persistent environmental pollutants (POPs).
    Dioxins are found throughout the world in the environment and they accumulate in the food chain, mainly in the fatty tissue of animals.
    More than 90% of human exposure is through food, mainly meat and dairy products, fish and shellfish. Many national authorities have programmes in place to monitor the food supply.
    Dioxins are highly toxic and can cause reproductive and developmental problems, damage the immune system, interfere with hormones and also cause cancer.
    Due to the omnipresence of dioxins, all people have background exposure, which is not expected to affect human health. However, due to the highly toxic potential, efforts need to be undertaken to reduce current background exposure.
    Prevention or reduction of human exposure is best done via source-directed measures, i.e. strict control of industrial processes to reduce formation of dioxins.

  • This society eats too much protein. The truth is her science has been manipulated by the food industry for years. Meat is not fresh. It is dead tissue. duh.

  • https://youtu.be/U5R6FQ5Or3w James has great explanations on where low intensity, high volume might have a place in your program. His series on muscle Hypertrophy is excellent:)

  • #4so much truth. Go hard or go home is killing people all over in the fitness world. When I started “greasing the groove” and leaving gas in the tank, my strength sky rocketed, and my body became pain free for the first time in years.

  • this guy is dumb AF no hormones in his organic meat like if the piece of steak didn’t come from a cow that was once alive
    producing endogenous hormones really.! by the way all excess hormones cause cancer plant based for the win’

  • Excellent break down of the major points of S and C for fighters. Can’t fault it. Joe DeFranco is of the same school of thought too with the idea is to use slow strength as a base from which to build power…. The core logic being… Power is strength exerted over a short period of time…so you need to have strength in the first place to then develop it onto power. Using the appropriate transition of the slow max effort movement into the explosive speed/power based movements

  • you have a real problem with #1.

    strength training generally is done in standard gym bodybuilding methods which increase size which increase strength wich slows you down.

    most people cant afford to use specialized fight strength trainers because you cost so fucking much.

    IF you use fight strength training it concentrates on speed/power because a fast strike delivers far more power than a slow strike from an overly muscled person

  • Me/
    Mum = good bone structure /overweight/used to look like Gwyneth Paltrow

    Dad = 5’8″ /full head of hair /used to look like George Clooney

    Grandad = 6’2″ /strong build /bald/wonky teeth/big nose

    ME; 5’8″/overweight/bald/big nose/used to look like George Costanza…FUCK YOU GENETIC ROULETTE!

  • Could have been a good interview with great data but yeh, you guys should really try to just learn something and quit this “Look at Me” blaa blaa!

  • Thank you for number 1. I hate hearing people say my knees are going to fail one day doing these movements. I challenge everybody to look at the track of your knees as you walk down the stairs…they always track past your toes. When it comes to training if you’re smart about your movement and mobility, you’ll be just fine.

  • I think that this is a great review! It’s nice to see judgements through different eyes, I do not do Chloe Ting, But i know that her workouts do obviously work, Due to her before and after results!

  • People who only tried her challenge for a few times and didn’t get their abs pop out and pop off are salty and those who haven’t tried it are saltier ��.

  • Myth #3 was popular in the 90s. In bodybuilding culture, the belief was that there are types of body fat: subcutaneous (directly under the skin) and marbled (fat between muscle fibres like in a steak). Cardio and dieting would curtail subcutaneous fat and high rep exercises would burn the marbled fat, leaving a person with that striated look

  • I used to live in the high country of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, where radon levels were extremely high due to the amount of radioactive elements in the mountains. It was my understanding that radon is a prime culprit behind lung cancer for those who don’t even smoke cigarettes, right behind smoking. For a while, I lived in a house built in 1943, and I had the basement tested, finding out that the radon level was dangerously high, so I had a complete venting system installed to mitigate the level. An elementary school where I used to teach in Colorado had really high levels of radon, so the school district paid to have it all professionally vented out from the basement area so that the kids would not start developing lung cancer during their school years. So from all I have learned, this radon is one big aspect of many lung cancer cases for folks who live in regions with the substance in the ground (usually mountainous, same areas that often have high levels of uranium). This might help explain what Gabrielle says we still don’t know beyond smoking cigarettes why people can develop lung cancer.

  • Just watching this video, and funny enough I have a protruding disc that puts pressure on the nerves…painful and uncomfortable. I know it’s work related. Not going to stop me from weight training though:)

  • I have Osgood Schlatters and inflammation in both knees. I can only squat without pain if I keep my knees behind my toes. I’m not saying it’s the only way. It’s just my experience.

  • As someone with a few disc issues, I have disc sitting on both sciatica.
    I can absolutely say that my pain and it was crippling, since I started lifting 95% of my pain is gone.

  • Eating protein gives you cancer. AND eating a chicken that eats it’s own crap gives you cancer. REALLY! To go down this line you have to.. and excuse the lingo.. you have to fart on ALL of the evidence. Give me a break.

  • Finally, someone who actually debunks all these insta-trainers. Great video. Sad, but true there are no shortcuts. Hard work and nutrition are the key.

  • I love that you brought up woman and free weights. There is this “fear” or something that many woman have of getting bulky and big if they lift with free weights, which is just nonsense, but I hear it all the time. Not using free weights cuts out using half the gym!

  • Whey protein spikes insulin levels and makes you extremely hungry shortly after. This can result in eating more than is necessary for recovery. *NOT A MYTH

  • Cloe tells in nearly ever caption or other post, video or sth like that every body is different and that it’s not possible for everyone to get abs in two weeks and on her website where her full (FREE) training program is, (not just the ONE workout you watched), she tells everwhere that nutrition, and the way you do the exercises are important so don’t blame her, just watch a video where Cloe reacts to other people’s results and do the shred programm on your own, then you can keep blaiming her if you have the same opinion then

  • Going to the gym is pointless for running or other cv based sports… Basketball, football and tennis they all use some form of resistance work haah

  • That is myth bodybuilding does build strength the more muscle you have the stronger you’re because of the calcium reserves calcium triggers muscle contractions and being buffed or fat gives you strength

  • He should’ve also mentioned that you gotta add body weight exercises like pull ups and pushups to strength training to keep your speed.. that’s very key..

  • Strength training can if done incorrectly. Also go hard or go home can make you way better so long as you rest the next day or take It easier. Also you should rest before the fight.

  • Great debunking! Actually, I believe “fitness trends” do not make the video justice: what you tackled here is, for the most part, longstanding myths that just won’t go away for some reason. Dr. Davidson is a really solid guest ����

  • I disagree with number 4

    I used to want to look like a crossfitter, big arms, legs, traps, shoulders, so I started doing crossfit. I eventually transitioned away from crossfit to bodybuilding for personal reasons, but due to the small amount of gains I made from crossfit I can confidently say that if I kept doing it I would have eventually achieved my goal of looking like a crossfitter.

    If anyone is wondering, I transitioned away from crossfit because it is a “sport” solely reliant on mobility. If your mobility is bad, you will do the movements bad. Obviously Im of the opinion that good mobility is important, and I’d say I have pretty decent mobility, but mobility work is so largely ignored by crossfit coaches in my experience due to the fact that most crossfit sessions only last an hour, which is barely enough time for a short strength sessions and a short “metcon,” so youre expected as a crossfit member to do mobility on your own. I kept experiencing nagging injuries due to movement pattern overuse and I transitioned to bodybuilding where I could lift weights and do cardio in a segmented manner. I find it unnecessary to do them both intertwined. Lastly, Crossfit misinterprets the sport of olympic weightlifting, a sport where mobility is probably the main factor between average lifters and champions. Weightlifters train to break their one rep maxes and crossfit misinterprets that sport by taking their highly detailed movements, turning a blind eye to how important perfect form is, and doing the movements for reps.

    Just a little rant… sorry. Hope you enjoyed.

  • I just want the term “toned” to go away forever. Muscle tone means something very, very different to someone with any background in exercise science.

  • Scientific fact…Thai people/SE Asian people have
    calves like Popeye’s forearms..that is why they kick so hard. Cannonball calves behind those shins.��(my mother is Filipina;I got em’)

  • I don’t think you can actually get Abs in 2 weeks it’s just that the workout is 2 weeks long and you are supposed to keep doing it over and over

  • I always preach these things but the gym owner Always trains people too hard without progression and people burn out and get injured

  • I’ve come to realize this video is not the best. I’m going to be changing up a lot about how I go about reviewing influencers’ workouts!! Stay tuned:)

  • strength is the foundation to all athletics. Speed is an expression of strength. Power = ForcexVelocity. Being ‘big’ or ‘slow’ are more attributed to having too much weight on your frame than your genetics are designed for e.g. 5’6″ fighter weighing 220lbs it’s just not efficient whether fat or muscle

  • Strength is (in my layman’s terms) weird and complicated. We all sort of assume that mass equates to strength, and certainly the World’s Strongest Man seems to validate this, with 30+ stone monsters!

    However in real life, particularly in physical manual labouring jobs I’ve done, you simply cannot tell how strong someone is from their mass or musculature. I worked with a guy who was so skinny, his elbows were literally the thickest part of his arms! Despite weighing a good 3 or 4 stone more than him, he was able to lift things just as well as me.

    It’s similar to how we think fat people are unfit, which is generally true, but then you have exceptions like Roy Nelson, or again, some of the world’s best strong men, who you would dismiss as little more than fatties if you saw them in the street, but they are incredibly strong and have a high level of fitness in terms of their sport (large elements of anaerobic exercise under extreme duress).

  • Lawrence my g, will you ever make a vid comparing the South East Asian styles? Tryna see you cover Pradal Serey, Muay Laos, and Lethwei

  • I can’t look at this women as an example of health regarding her diet. She’s had SO much work done it’s make me think she not credible.

  • I dont know what to say, I’m doing her workouts for 3 months now and there is no change at all,in my measurements, I’m a bit sad, I want to believe chloe,but I’m not able to now!

  • Why’s everyone so butthurt? I think this review was pretty fair, she had valid points for why the workout is good and hardly had anything bad to say about it

  • Another jealous “PeRsOnAl TrAinEr”.. sweetie, don´t hate because someone else is way more popular and succesfull 😉 Chloe has disclaimers, whole programs on her page, diet tips and programs and great results and more she created community. Only “certified personal trainers” are jealous of her. Not because thumbnail, but because her succes. When thumbnail is everything you got on her.. shame on you:D Those people who think they get abs like hers in 2 weeks are dumb and morons. Period.

  • I’d like to see you do this challenge for two weeks and see if there will be a difference. Also, the video you watched is just one of the four videos in the “get abs in two weeks” program. Check out her website.
    Also thanks for the honest review. You didn’t bad mouth her and I think that’s cool

  • Good interview. And you’re all knowledgeable. But, come on, guys! Stop cutting her off and overtalking her. She is great at getting her points across, but there were several times she couldn’t finish her thought, or answer the question you asked her. Just sayin’. It definitely got better as y’all settled down.

  • I been doing her 2 week shred challenge for 4 daus but I havent been feeling anything like soreness should I just start over I’ve been eating healthy as well but Im not sure I will see ahy difference

  • I might split hairs over semantics. I.e. I would say Power is a function of strength. Regardless, I cannot understand why anyone would �� this video. This is a highly educated, highly experienced professional giving basic scientific information. This is a great video.

  • Welp, I was just thinking about my gym routine and how I improved a lot on my jumping abilities (kyokushin has a run + jumping side kick as part of belt exam) with it. Now at least I get to undertstand why and as bonus I get to correct the upper body training.

    A question, emerges though: are gymnastic rings’ exercises like dips, Push ups and pull ups better than their bar/floor counterparts? I know I’ve developped a lot doing them and I noticed my punch power got way higher, but I’m not sure if I should keep doing them with heavier load (5kg, 10 kg, etc.) or just drop them altogether to avoid burnouts/fatigue. I don’t feel a heavier impact of my general fatigue, but it’s always good to check.

  • i have a question: isn’t it bad to train the same muscles everyday? �� she has these 2 week programs and you do the same exercises everyday. Can i get injured? Also she doesn’t include stretchs and cooldowns. they’re just optional:/

    ps. don’t get me wrong, i love chloe but i don’t follow her programs bc i’m scared. i actually just watch the videos of specific muscles on specific days

  • AGREED but be careful with pressing anything overhead. This movement is not optimal and puts one’s body in a compromising position. If u don’t want to take my word for it ask a physical therapist.

  • For the people who are saying she wasn’t Chris Hemsworth personal trainer search it on Google you’ll find out she was his personal trainer

  • 1:20 Myth 1: Strength training makes you slower.
    2:58 Myth 2: More muscle = more strength.
    4:09 Myth 3: Strength training makes you more powerful.
    5:00 Myth 4: The harder you train, the harder you fight.

  • why some people chloe git wrong to here progrms.. chloe us also professional, we can see here result body, and strikly diet not only agood body its also. good health

  • Awesome video, very informative. I watch every video of Dr. Lyon I can find. I learn something new from each of them, plus she is so easy on the eyes!

  • i eat meat, i dont drink, dogs Im telling you meat is expensive and most of us in this country are poor regardless how many wanna defend the exploitative billion dollar corporations

  • Agreed totally. Especially 3:50-ish mark where you mentioned functional training. Also the part about Crossfit. Anyone claiming that it’s somehow the most functional workout for MMA or Fighters in general is fooling themselves. I think you can also add Myth 5: Only a Coach (and he/she has to be a current/former Champion) knows everything there is to know about strength training for the sport, bar none. The coach is 100% correct in everything so I don’t need to listen to anything else, even when it’s from an experienced CPT or CSCS…

    That’s the tone I’ve invariably gotten working the School Gyms. The hubris and perceived invincibility of millennials/post-millennials combined with bro-science, bravado and everything they look up online is a ego-centric clusterfuck for getting them to behave and train safely…

    Keep up W/ the great work!

  • “I gOt TIghT,, I jUsT CaN’t” what a meat head. read a book “bro”. non-reprocessed non-hormone injected protein will always be better for you. Also, phytoestrogen has been proven to not impact testosterone and it is NOT the same as estrogen. Phytoestrogen is what is in soy protein. There is no estrogen in soy.

  • Tall people must do workout that are better for tall people, the short guys always used to stress that the bar has to touch your chest during bench pressing, that really loads up the shoulders on tall folks.

  • As wholistic sets for the sides of my legs all the way from hip to ankle is small kicks forward, back, side, across while balanced on the other leg. It is the leg upon which you are balanced that takes the work. I will adopt a couple of these and certainly modify my side kicks to clam shell configuration.
    I also hate working with a band but, I will have to adapt because, I found this through your posterior tibial tendon (PTT) vid. I am a stage 2 with that from mountaineering for decades.

  • People should be greatful to Chloe ting, as using her videos several youtubers are getting a fair no. Of views and likes
    And ofcourse people like me who love her workouts are already greatful ❤️

  • Thank you for doing this interview with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon. In a time when protein is being falsely implicated as a culprit behind numerous maladies, someone as knowledgeable as Dr. Lyon is absolute essential to debunk this nonsense. To be frank, most arguments against protein stem from propaganda efforts of vegans and environmentalists, who use distorted statistics (conflating relative and absolute risk), flawed epidemiology (unreliable food questionnaires lacking proper controls), or animal studies where an animal eats copious amounts of a protein they have not evolved to eat, in isolation a level protein that if it were scaled up proportionally to fit humans would be so enormous that no human could eat that amount of protein. The amount of shenanigans that vegans resort to, in order to essentially fudge the numbers against animal foods, is disgusting. Outside of televangelists, there are few groups out there that resort to this level of dishonesty in order to promote their worldview.

  • Kenshin, you are extremely perceptive when analyzing techniques. Have you ever fought competetively or do you just love the sport?

  • and also i really love how she is being positive and not rude even if Chloe is making a little mistake she is still nice about it instead of being negative

  • She really marketed this cleverly
    Firstly the ‘2 weeks’ thing
    Second she asked other people to make YouTube videos and post about it which in turn provided her with more audience
    And the girls who made the videos and posted about it more audience too which made other people do it too which gave her more audience and so on

  • This Doctor says leucine is bad and Dr. Lyon wants us to eat more  https://nutritionfacts.org/2015/06/16/living-longer-by-reducing-leucine-intake/The Blue Zones limit meat intake and rely on more plant based protein (less leucine).How do explain this apparent contradiction?

  • Show me the science that goes against the China study! It doesn’t look at only 2 places in China Lol, read the study before you comment on it.

  • Interesting talk what about protein sources such as hemp or insects, like cricket powder? Both are higher in protein than meat and hemp protein has all the amino acids red meat has. Whey tends to cause bloating. Also what about the absorption of protein, especially as you get older? How well do older adults breakdown and absorb protein (energy required) from meat vs plant or insect protein?
    Don, are you related to Dr. Paul?

  • The question regarding Supersize Me and eating McDonald’s without the junk carbs… Watch McSnake Diet Movie on Youtube.

    Cole Robinson ate McDonald’s every day for a month, eschewing the buns and the fries. He increased bone density, increased muscle mass, decreased fat percentage, and overall maintained his virtually perfect health.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6umfRzbVDY

    Note that he utilized intermittent fasting during the month (it’s his shtick).

  • 2things.A) No disrespect, but I’ll default to Stuart McGill for information regarding back/spinal issues/exercise, and B) I cannot be like some of these myths persists today!

  • I could eat carbs and whatever and still get jacked as a young man. Now that I’m 56 things are different. Limiting my carbs to around 30g a meal and doubling my protein (2.4g/kg) made such an obvious difference. TRF and fasting and exercise was good, but dialing in the macros was the final key for this old man. Thank you DrLyon

  • I have been bodybuilding seriously for 51 years so far. It is a lifestyle for me, having begun at 17 years of age in 1968. In nine months, I will be entering my 70th year of life. My biomarkers are excellent. My muscle mass certainly has decreased compared to what it was when younger. I have competed in bodybuilding physique contests for a 17 year period. I still train with weights for two hours three times weekly, and bicycle for two hours two times weekly (on my days off from weights). I ingest between 0.45-0.65 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight daily, which is allowing for sustaining my muscle mass, and even making gains. I have been fully herbivorous (vegan) for the past twenty years, eating a whole food diet, and for the ten years prior to that, I was making a slow transition from away from animal foods. Speaking for myself only, this is working exceptionally well so far (but of course, I’m only two decades into the experiment, but I have high hopes that this eating regimen will keep me in a high level of health and fitness as I attempt to maximize my functional longevity).

  • Splitting the power workout separately from strength training seems to be where some SC coaches have different opinions. I recall Joe Defranco programming them to same day, explosive movement after the strength. He might have changed it since (havent followed what he does these days) but the logic was that the heavy lift makes all the muscle activated and helps make sure all of the muscle is involved in the explosive movement as well. I have followed this philosophy and it seems to make sense, like you feel you get more out of the explosive movement. That might just be a feeling though. Would love to hear more thoughts on this.

  • This is why I dont listen to studies and just eat like my grandparents ate back in the day lots of meat, some vegetables, and a small amount carbs. Its better that way that being scared by all this scare tactics.

  • Hello just found this new DR the other day she changed my life, I was not eating meat, even if I ate grass feed, I got scared, now my muscles in my claves are flabby, also i dont eat until 1, its a habit for years, going back to MEAT, I MUST THANK YOU I JUST CANT LIFT WEIGHTS, 68, GOOD WEIGHT, HELP LOL
